I'm afraid I'm not interested in love

Chapter 611 The Meaning of Travel (6)

As someone who loves watching all kinds of high-definition 4K documentaries, Su Chengyi feels that he is not unfamiliar with such scenes.

But in fact, only those who have seen it with their own eyes can realize how shocking such a spectacle is.

Butler Han on the other side of the boat was the first to shout; his position was closest to the group of whales.

Then the tour guide shouted excitedly:

"Oh my god, look! It's a school of baleen whales!"

The splashing sea water was icy cold. Chu Qingmian subconsciously shrank his neck and turned away in a daze.

The scenery that comes into view makes one's breath stop.

Several whales of different sizes swam freely in the sea, jumping high, swinging their tails and falling down, creating a snow-like splash when falling into the water.

The sea is the sky inverted.

Chu Qingmian couldn't help but think so.

When a whale jumps out of the water, it looks like it is swimming in the sky and seems to be able to touch the clouds.

There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty. Its name is Kun. It is so big that it is unknown how many thousands of miles it is.

The ancients thousands of years ago must have seen such a poetic and romantic behemoth, which gave rise to such a great imagination and left behind the poem "The morning mushroom does not know the new moon and full moon, and the cicada does not know the spring and autumn."

"Let go of the clouds, carry the blue sky, and then head south, and reach the Southern Ocean."

Su Chengyi's voice sounded behind her.

"Based on the habits of our class representatives, they must be reciting "Xiao Yao You" at this moment."

Just as Chu Qingmian was about to turn around, he stopped her with a smile.

"That's it. Don't move. I'll take a picture."

"it is good!"

Chu Qingmian turned his back to him, nodded, and responded obediently.

Su Chengyi picked up the camera and closed one eye.

In fact, at this time, the focus should have been on the whale that jumped high.

Such a scene is so rare that even the most experienced tour guide who has sailed thousands of times became unusually excited and kept explaining to Butler Han and Uncle Gao how to identify the position where a whale would jump out of the water.

However, Su Chengyi paused slightly, and finally focused on Chu Qingmian's back.

No matter how spectacular and shocking the scene in the background is, she will still be the only heroine in the camera.

On the way back from the whale watching boat, the tour guide kept muttering excitedly, expressing his feelings to the tourists.

"I haven't seen such a sight in a long time. I should say I haven't seen such a perfect whale leap since I started working as a tour guide. I'm so lucky!"

“Really?”

Butler Han nodded repeatedly, his face flushed, and no one knew whether it was due to the sea breeze or simply because he was too excited.

Even Uncle Gao, who always had only one expression on his face, nodded and let out a long breath, obviously with a surging emotion.

Su Chengyi and Chu Qingmian sat at the stern of the boat, looking through the photos they had just taken one by one.

"We are so lucky, Su Chengyi! If you don't know, you might think the background is photoshopped. It's so beautiful!"

Chu Qingmian lay on his thighs and clenched his fists excitedly.

“Someone just said it’s okay if we don’t see whales.”

Su Chengyi laughed and tentatively put his fingers into her collar. The latter shivered from the cold and shrank back into her large down jacket hood like a caterpillar.

"Of course I was very happy to see it. I feel so lucky."

Chu Qingmian laughed cheerfully, her skin, which was slightly reddened by the wind, looking like a fragile porcelain doll.

"Ah."

Su Chengyi nodded and his gaze fell back to the sea level.

Only when you actually see whales can you truly realize that they are not just creatures from the end of the world or historical legends, and that they will not always be separated from humans by water and sky, and from afar in time and space.

They truly live on this earth, on the seabed, on glaciers, and in many unknown corners.

The huge creature sings songs that humans cannot understand, swims alone and freely in the deep sea, witnesses the succession of creatures on the earth, and shuttles through the thickest river of history.

In their eyes, humans are probably no different from any other land overlords that have ever survived, just ordinary two-legged beasts.

That is why they generously perform their best and most elegant whale leap in front of the expectant gaze of humans, winning cheers and gratitude.

"When we were having dinner last night, the owner of the restaurant told me that if you see a whale for the first time, you can tell it what's on your mind, and it will understand!
The boss said that when he was a child, he went out to sea and dropped his most treasured toy into the sea. He was very sad, so he made a wish to the humpback whale he saw that day.

Unexpectedly, when he returned home the next day, his father, a fisherman, caught his toy with his fishing net!!!"

Chu Qingmian lay on the railing beside the boat and said mysteriously:

"Su Chengyi, don't you think it's magical?"

"Is it."

Su Chengyi nodded, noncommittal.

He had never heard of such a rumor. Perhaps the restaurant owner made it up to please the pretty girl.

But to be honest, the boss told the most common beautiful fairy tales, just to wish for good luck, which is understandable.

"Yes!"

Chu Qingmian twisted her body happily.

"I thought I would never be able to talk to whales again! I didn't expect I would get the chance again."

"So what did you just say to it?"

"Well, this shouldn't be ineffective if I say it out loud, right?"

Chu Qingmian frowned, a little hesitant.

"Of course not. It's not like I'm making a wish."

Su Chengyi was quite curious, so he spoke with confidence.

"Ok."

Chu Qingmian smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Just now, a small whale, much smaller than the other whales, kept circling the boat, so I squatted down and told it to stay alive and not be caught or harmed by illegal fishing and hunting."

"Are you talking about something so serious?"

Su Chengyi wanted to laugh and curled the corners of his mouth briefly.

"Not entirely."

The sea breeze blew on her face. Chu Qingmian huddled back into her plush hat again before she spoke in a muffled voice:

“I also said that if you encounter a strange whale one day, it will ignore you no matter how you talk to it, and it won’t talk to you either, like a lonely freak.

Remember to wag your tail and say hello to it, that would be great."

After saying this somewhat childish remark, she curled her eyes as if she had amused herself.

"Oh, I told you not to tell me."

It was such a childish and naive idea, like something that would appear in a fairy tale book. Chu Qingmian originally thought that the science guy next to her would definitely come up with a set of scientific theories to laugh at her.

Unexpectedly, after a while, the other party just said "hmm". Chu Qingmian raised his eyes in surprise, while Su Chengyi leaned his elbows on the railing and looked at the skyline in front of him nonchalantly.

"Since Su Chengyi met Chu Qingmian, it's not surprising that ALICE would meet another 52 Hz whale in the world."

He said slowly.

After dinner in the evening, the four of them took a walk by the pond in the city center. There were many swans in the pond. Tourists and citizens broke the bread in their hands and fed them.

The street lights are dim in color, reflecting the unique small town scenery of Northern Europe, and pedestrians' unhurried footprints are left on the snow.

Su Chengyi was originally holding Furui with one hand and had the other hand casually in his pocket. After seeing the fat swans in the pond, he couldn't help but silently change to using both hands.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that this guy's hunting instinct would suddenly be aroused, and he would rush forward and scare everyone, severely destroying this tranquil and peaceful scene.

But it was obvious that he was worrying too much, because this guy was not interested in the swan in the pond at all. Instead, he was very interested in the uncle selling hot dogs next to him, and it took a lot of effort to drag him away.

In such winter weather, most local residents would rather return home and have a good rest around the fireplace.

Only tourists with too much energy to spare will wander outside in the cold wind.

In addition, of course, there is the group of people who have to walk their dogs.

"So it turns out that going out for a walk with Furui is such a difficult thing, Uncle Han."

Chu Qingmian was wrapped entirely in the hood of his down jacket, but his muffled voice was still full of sympathy.

"Yes."

Butler Han's voice also sounded very weak when he answered.

"Let me do it."

In the end, Uncle Gao rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand to gesture to take the dog leash from Su Chengyi.

Su Chengyi shook his head and replied:

"It's okay. Just don't let another hot dog stand pop up out front."

"I want a hot dog."

Chu Qingmian left a footprint in the snow and continued.

Su Chengyi couldn't help but think of that classic joke.

You should be more careful! ——Snacks? What snacks?
Contrary to expectations, there was actually a small stall in front, but it was selling tacos.

Su Chengyi originally decided to take a detour, but it was obvious that Fu Rui's nose was much more sensitive than that of a human. The boy deliberately dragged him this way early in the morning.

"I'll go buy some. It's just right for us to eat a little to warm ourselves up."

Butler Han took the initiative to speak upon seeing this.

Su Chengyi looked up at the road sign and saw that there was a park ahead that allowed pets, so he agreed.

Uncle Gao turned around and drove the car to the other intersection. Su Chengyi and Chu Qingmian walked into the park with the dog.

Although it was within the city center, there were very few people who would come to the park for a walk late at night in this weather. The snow looked very clean, with few footprints.

The two people and the dog walked slowly in, and the paw prints left by Fury's four paws looked like a series of continuous plum blossoms.

The benches on the side of the road were also covered with snow. Su Chengyi rolled up his sleeves and cleared out a space large enough for two people to sit side by side. He put the packaging bag he had just bought when he bought coffee on the bench, sat down, and took the cup of unsweetened hot latte that Chu Qingmian handed to him.

Chu Qingmian held the cup in both hands, and the hot air he exhaled quickly condensed into white mist, floating in the light of the street lamp.

Seeing that there was no one around, Su Chengyi took out Fury's favorite toy ball from his pocket and threw it out at a distance.

He controlled the distance very well, and Fury was always within the field of vision of both men, so he could call it back at any time.

Chu Qingmian lowered her head and took a sip of coffee. Snowflakes fell on her thick eyelashes and melted into tiny water droplets, looking like the teardrop diamond decorations that were very popular nowadays.

After returning from the whale watching boat, Miss Chu became unusually silent.

Su Chengyi certainly noticed this, but he thought it was understandable. After all, after seeing such a shocking spectacle, it was normal to be unable to recover for a short period of time.

Especially for someone as sentimental as the eldest daughter, she is most attracted by romance and poetry.

Chu Yuanjiang said that when he was a child, after listening to the story of "The Little Mermaid", he cried secretly for several days and could not get over it for a long time because he was moved by Ariel's self-sacrifice.

This is probably why, among so many wonders on earth, Miss Chu’s favorite is the sea.

Su Chengyi was thinking about these random things when someone next to him suddenly called him.

"Su Chengyi."

"Ah."

He responded and threw the ball that Fury had just caught back out again.

The silly dog ​​ran out to chase again. The snow, which was clean just now, was suddenly covered with messy dog ​​footprints after all this going on.

"Thank you, thank you for traveling so far with me. We are now on the other side of the world."

Chu Qingmian sniffed and said this.

"Actually, I can't say that I'm accompanying you."

Su Chengyi shook his head and replied slowly:

"Whales are also a species that I have always wanted to see with my own eyes since I was a child. I always saw them in documentaries before, but only when I saw them with my own eyes did I realize how amazing they are."

"hey-hey."

Chu Qingmian lowered his head and smiled lightly, then raised his eyes again.

"Thank you, you are always so nice to me."

She said this sincerely, and her beautiful eyes, as clear as crystal, were filled with love.

Of course Su Chengyi would feel guilty at this time - if he still didn't feel guilty, then he would be the most shameless and least self-aware scumbag in the world.

It's more like a sense of guilt than a guilty conscience.

Because he knew very well that the sinner who would break such a beautiful crystal ball was actually himself.

Su Chengyi shifted his gaze away unnoticeably, and made a soft "hmm" sound, not knowing which part of his body he was using to make the sound.

“It’s true.”

Miss Chu refused to give in. She took his finger and shook it gently.

"I know you like Mr. Wang Xiaobo's books. He has written many touching words. When they come out of your mouth, they always have a special meaning.

But you don’t know that every time I see you, I think of that simple sentence that doesn’t say too much.”

"Which one?"

Hearing her say this, Su Chengyi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I give you my whole soul, with all its quirks, its tantrums, its inconsistencies, and its eighteen hundred vices.

It's really annoying, but there's only one good thing about it, I love you."

Chu Qingmian narrowed his eyes and read out each word.

She was originally a very honest person, and when she said such sweet words, it was as if she was holding her whole heart in front of him.

Su Chengyi lowered her eyes, and snowflakes fell on her eyelashes.

The principle of knowing a person's face but not his heart cannot be applied to Miss Chu, because one can clearly see her soul and her true heart just by looking through her eyes.
